this week's menu -- pineapple chicken skewers

I have to admit following a paleo-type food plan is extremely difficult without good planning. And some weeks I'm much better at planning than others. Here's what we're making this week. I have a lot of these ingredients already on hand, so hopefully it will be a frugal trip to the grocery store.

Sunday -- Creamy Clam Chowder (not technically "paleo" with the potatoes, you could always use rutabagas or turnips instead!) I used coconut milk in place of cream and left out the butter altogether. I love this chowder!

You are so right about the planning; I wish I were better about doing that. Your menu sounds good, perfect for the fall weather, too. Some of those following Paleo and primal diets include potatoes and butter, not as the mainstay, but the way you're using them in a supporting role, so to speak. Good luck.pamela

I agree with Amanda. Everything looks tempting this week! I just noticed at the grocery store this week, that Progresso's Clam Chowder now says "Gluten Free" on the front label. I don't think it fits with the paleo diet, but I thought I'd pass along the info anyway. :)
